You're making it sound as if Pianka is a lone and forlorn waif, blowing in the breeze, lonesome and ignored because respectable scientists don't buy into his fruitcake darwinian apocalyptic preaching.

I remind you that Pianka was speaking before 400 respectable scientists, that his Hiltlerian final solution BS was interrupted several times with enthusiastic applause, and that he received a prolonged standing ovation at the conclusion of his tirade. Respectable scientists liked what they were hearing.

Science's problem is much bigger than Pianka. Science, particularly darwinian science, has taken on all the trappings of fundamental faith system that delights in preaching to the rest of humanity what is moral and what is not, what has worth and what does not, where we came from before birth and where we're going after death. Worse, it has managed to manipulate the power of the state to enforce these preaching and beliefs in the public schools and to make it illegal to criticize them.

That's your problem. You have become what your profess to hate: nutball fundamentalist zealots quick to employ state power to crush the "unbelievers."

Bump.

Men of honor will condemn Pianaka's "final solution" and dencounce the 400 scientists who gave him an extended standing ovation.

I have no idea where you got that impression. I've said nothing of the sort.

Respectable scientists are concerned about the loss of biodiversity on the planet.

I'm not even going to bother to respond to the rest of your usual tirade.
